K-drama actor Park Si Hoo, previously embroiled in rape controversy, now faces new allegations in sex scandal
A fresh scandal is unfolding around actor Park Si Hoo, as a woman going by the name Ms. A has come forward with explosive accusations. On August 5 (KST), she took to social media to claim that the actor played a direct role in introducing women to her husband - allegedly contributing to the breakdown of her marriage and family.
Ms. A stated that the alleged behavior began in 2020 while their families were residing in Seoul's affluent UN Village. She accused Park of pretending to be close to her while secretly acting as a "connector" between her husband and other women. Tagging Park in her post, she threatened to expose more evidence and declared that she had "nothing to lose."
Screenshots, money transfers, and a brewing scandal of Park Si Hoo
Ms. A shared screenshots that appeared to be text messages between Park and her husband. One exchange dated May 2021 allegedly shows Park forwarding a woman's bank account number. In return, her husband reportedly replied with photos of the woman pulled from social media.
She also posted a video recording of a KakaoTalk chat window, allegedly showing more recent messages between her husband and Park Si Hoo. The posts rapidly gained attention, with netizens calling for accountability amid Park's silence.
A dark past that haunts Park Si Hoo
This isn't the first time Park Si Hoo has found himself at the center of a scandal. In 2013, he was accused of raping a female trainee at his agency's office following a night of drinking. Although he denied the allegations and countersued for blackmail and false accusations, he was eventually indicted for quasi-rape and injury by rape. The case was later dropped after the alleged victim withdrew her complaint, but the damage to his image lingered.
Park Si Hoo's comeback in jeopardy
Despite the cloud over his past, the actor has recently attempted a return to the limelight. He appeared on TV Chosun's variety show Dad and Me and is slated to star in the upcoming remake of the 2021 American drama The Mentalist. However, this new controversy threatens to derail his career once again. As of now, Park Si Hoo has not issued any response to the latest allegations - though he remains active on TikTok.
